Side sleeper pillows and neck rolls

For side sleeper pillows, there is the fine jersey cover 40x145 cm in a twin pack: stretchy, so that it adapts to the pillow, and in the same colors as the other sizes. The fine jersey cover 15x40 cm fits neck rolls.

Which quality matches my bedding?

Fine jersey is knitted, stretchy cotton: soft, non-iron, suitable all year round, and with 22 colors, the largest selection to match a second pillowcase to bedding or a fitted sheet. Mélange flannel is cotton brushed from our own weaving mill in Hamminkeln, the warm partner to Biber flannel and flannel bedding; the 14 colors match the mélange flannel bedding. Mako satin is smooth and cool; the Mix-&-Match designs allow the duvet cover and pillowcases to be freely combined. Which size and material are right for your pillow is explained in the guide Choosing the right pillowcase.

Care

All pillowcases are washable at 60°C. Without fabric softener, jersey stays elastic and flannel stays fluffy; the sewn-in care label is the main guide. Since pillowcases get dirty faster than duvet covers, a twin pack for changing is worth it.
